Greetings!

I've heard other reports on Linux Mint. You might consider using Mamba instead 
of conda, which has some better behavior with its solver. You can either 
install mamba into your base environment with:

  conda install -n base mamba

Or you can start fresh and use an installer like mambaforge (from conda-forge):

  https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/tag/4.14.0-0

Hope this helps!
